Steelers Defense Loses Another Linebacker
4 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers placed linebacker Vince Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday after the linebacking group just lost linebacker Robert Spillane to the Injured Reserve after he suffered an injury in the loss to Washington on Monday. Pittsburgh's defense is also without linebackers Devin Bush and Bud Dupree after they both tore their ACLs. All-Pro T.J. Watt will need to pick up the slack for the unit in a tough matchup against Josh Allen and the Bills on Sunday night in Week 14. Williams, a sixth-round pick in 2013, had 63 tackles (14 for loss), four QB hits and two fumble recoveries in 12 games played before his injury. Pittsburgh's defense has been one of the best in the league all year, but they're losing some luster because of injuries and will be more of a low-end fantasy unit in 12-team leagues against Buffalo.
